    SotA spiders are too big to do that. Well, maybe not the small wolf spiders.

    @Barugon It's a video of a news reporter doing a live segment and a spider about an inch across goes crawling down her arm. She could feel it there but thought it was just a mosquito. :)

    An inch? That's not even tarantula size. Australia hasn't stopped laughing yet.

    The video is not being displayed in your post. All I see is a blank post... unless I try to quote it... then I see that it's a facebook media thing.

    Not showing for me here though.

    If it was a huntsman or baboon spider, that would be impressive!

    Mosquitos are bigger than that in Texas.

    LOL. I thought it was a bit small, too. Back in 8th grade we had a wolf spider in the house that was easily 7-8 inches just standing there in the living room.

    It filled a Tupperware bowl that we caught it in.

    I've no problem bringing a sword down upon a spider the size if a dog. It's the little ones you can't see coming that freak me out... :eek:
